well the snow is here only got a few inchs so not to bad. Who else has got the snow

Picture postcards those! :)

 

Ha, yours are better! I don't hate snow, I just hate it when I absolutely have to be somewhere and the journey is a nightmare. Luckily for me last year, work was walking distance from home, and my first placement is on the same hospital site where I previously worked, so when the white stuff arrives this year, I'll still be able to get to work. And as I'll be working with kids with severe learning and physical disabilities, chances are I'll be able to get out and play in it with them in the sensory garden :biggrin:

I am on the fringes of Cardiff, not really in the sticks but really close to some nice countryside and the beautiful smell of cow poo! :confused1:

 

I used to live in Magor/Undy - nothing like the smell of the Severn Estuary AND cow poo in the morning to wake you up!!

a zed in the snow is doable, you just have to be very very careful. i managed last year, the only problem i had. was as my zed was so low, it acted like a snow plow with the front bumper scooping up the center line other cars made.

A SNOW Z!!!!!! That's my winter project now, as soon as it snows! I'm going outside to watch the sky!

 

Could only find a Porsche! lol

My major issue is my steep driveway, if we get big snow again this year, its deciding if its worth the risk of parking on the road, and getting hit by the wallies who can't drive in the snow, or risk parking on the drive, where there's every chance the car won't make it off the drive.

I am planning on a reconnaissance mission to stockpile some council salt and grit soon tho :yes:

Porsche/Ferrari ringer welded together! lol

Snow welding, now there's an idea, wonder if VOSA would go for it.

A few of the garages by me do it regular by the looks of it :D

Someone has nicked all the grit that is stored in some yellow container at the end of our cul-de-sac! :)

I very nearly bought a 4 x 4 after last winter's snowfall. Bear in mind I am very much a southerner, I'd never seen a white Christmas til I moved up North! But I'd hate the 4 x 4 for most of the year, so ended up with just any car that wasn't completely sh@gged basically (the Omega)

It weren't me!!! I don't live in Wales any more! Wish I did but no chance for at least 3 yrs....

Lol, I got the Omega sideways today, that was a first!

Nope - no snow down here in Bucks!! Although we do get our fair share in The Chilterns, it has been too warm so far. It was cold this morning and I had to de-ice the car before leaving, but it peaked at aroung 8 degrees during the day....

 

......last year we had this just before Christmas.....

See when its like this, its magical and pretty and great fun taking kids to the park to sledge. When its brown, and re-frozen and you need a pick axe to break it up, its a ****....

Sorted your images out for you richard ;) :)

 

love the look of that second one.

Nothing I love more than going out in the morning and clearing snow off the car! Nothing I hate more than going out in the morning and having to de-ice it, there's no fun in it!

Mine was frozen shut this morning! Snow clearing is definitely more pleasant (until your other half puts a handful down your top :mad2: )

nothing like going out in the morning and you cant open the bloody door as the window has frozen to the rubber...

 

Or you cant even get your key in the lock to start with.

 

then there is the horrible cracking sound as the targas break the ice sealing them to the roof and you wonder what you've just broken lol

 

love zed ownership.

Yeah last year I only took the Z out once when it had snowed and as I drove along, the targas cracked constantly for minutes and was a horrible sound, lol.
